“The lesser of two evils is still evil.”
But what about the double-haters?
Here’s what they had to say:
1.
“Both are bad options.
I don’t feel like there is a lot to hash out here.
Trump is a loose cannon, and you have zero clue what he is going to say or do.
“I have historically voted Democrat and tend towards the liberal side.
I hate that Democrats are all talk and no action!
I cant stand Trump, but I dont know if I can vote for Biden, either.
The two-party system is awful but even worse when both parties have mediocre candidates, at best.”
Cristina, Oregon

So we’d avoid all this strife another time once and for all.

“I believe myself to be more closely aligned with the Green party than the Republican or Democratic parties.
Biden, meanwhile, only is acting like a decent choice when compared to someone horrid like Trump.
“Blue MAGAs fearProject 2025because suddenly, these mostly middle-aged white cisgender-heterosexual people will be treated like POC/queer/trans/non-christians/disabled/poor people.
Biden is a far-right Republican, and Trump is a full-on fascist.
Need I say more?
But to stave off Project 2025, etc., you need a Democratic majority and president forever.
As a disabled queer AFAB, no one is doing anything to help me.

“Morally, I cant justify voting for either Biden or Trump.
One supports genocide, and the other is a psychotic maniac who could start another civil war.
So Ill be voting Independent.
The two-party system is a scam and just another way for rich people to stay rich and in power.
They are OUR representatives and work for US.
Its time they get reminded of that.”

“Im 100% a double hater.
He will lie and cheat to benefit himself.
I will be voting for long-shot Kennedy as the only smart choice rather than the lesser of two evils.
We should never have gotten to this point in history, and it needs to change.”
Vincent, New York
9.
I am disgusted with both candidates and will not bother to vote this year.”

“Trump is a lunatic, and Biden is too weak.
However, I will likely vote for Biden because it’s a safe bet.
I am a Republican that doesn’t consider anyone who identifies as MAGA a Republican.
It’s a cult full of uneducated degenerates who believe that America has failed them.
However, the truth is they have failed themselves due to their own stupidity in life.”
He’s a threat to democracy, so I’m voting Biden.
He’s a vile excuse for a human being.”

“I am not a ‘double-hater’ but a ‘double-disapprover,’ asNPR noted.
I cant think of anyone worse.
Ive thought of voting for Jill Stein but have not decided.”
Therese, Minnesota

“Im not voting.

“I have always been an Independent voter.
I am, however, anti-Trump party and far-right extremism.
Unfortunately, the Democrats are doing EXACTLY what they did in 2016 with Clinton.
They did not listen to the base, which told them over and over that she could not win.
The DNC is doing the exact same thing this time.
It should not even be a choice in this election… yet here we are.
It’s depressing!”
John, West Virginia

“Hate is a strong word, but I severely dislike both candidates.
Sadly, the lesser of two evils is still evil.”
In general, I have lost faith in Democrats.”
I’m voting my conscience this year and voting for Cornel West.
We need radical change in this country, not adherence to the status quo.”
Tricia, West Virginia
18.
“They are both so terrible.
Why are we forced to continuously pick the ‘lesser of two evils’?
It’s all about who has the most money from lobbyists.
“Biden cannot finish a single thought and forgets everything.
There is no such thing as a moderate politician anymore.”

“Clearly, only Republican or only Democrat has done nothing for this country.
I don’t understand why someone from the Green or Independent party is never elected.
We are burning, and we are failing, and we are suffering.”
“I would crawl over broken glass to vote against Trump.
He’s a horrible, deeply flawed human being who only cares for himself.
I could go on and on about his failings.
He has ripped this country apart and brought out the worst in people.
As for Biden, he’s a good man, but I feel deceived.”
He would not step aside gracefully.
I even wrote him a letter asking him to like not run again.
It’s pure hubris to assume no one else could beat Trump.
I wish we had other choices than two old white men.
But here we are.
I will vote for Biden because the alternative is the end of Democracy.”
Christina, Alabama

“Biden has done a supremely sub-par job in the face of admittedly extreme problems that need real solutions.
Just an absolute shit show.”
The man is an amoral, lying, rapist, racist demagogue.
He wants to be an authoritarian ruler and admires those who are.
He will bring an end to the Ukraine war by allowing Russia to win it.
Russia has tried its very best to meddle in our affairs to ensure his election.
Biden is elderly and incompetent.
Trump is elderly and actually evil.
I’ll take incompetent over actively evil."

I LOATHE that Americans will only vote for only Dems or Reps.
I am NOT going to force myself to choose between these two."
Additionally, theyre both too old, IMO.
They both need to retire and let someone younger get in there who actually understands society now.
Joe, Michigan

Hardly anyone in politics is honestly working for the interests of the American people."

“Both candidates show the worst extremes of both parties.
Its all about ‘owning’ the other side rather than coming to solutions that actually help people.
“I hate Biden for enabling the genocide in Palestine.
I hate Trump for everything.
That said, Im probably voting for Biden.
But its really an election between problematic old man one and problematic old man two.”
“Covid proved that the government doesnt care about us.
The rich govern us, and they do not care what happens to the poor.”

“I am conservative, but Trump is immoral and hateful and loves to stir up drama.
Both men are ANCIENT.
I cant believe that we cant come up with better candidates.
We are still scraping the bottom of the same barrel we had four years ago.
Lorra, Texas
28.
“Im definitely in the double hater club.
Neither is worthy of my vote.
Shes beyond a disaster.
So, depending on who Trump chooses, Ill decide then.
If he opts for someone I dont want, I wont vote for a president.”
29.And finally, “First of all, I resent the label ‘double hater.’
If I vote within a two-party system, nothing is ever going to change.
WE are the ones who are willing to take risks to see things change.
WE are the ones who are stepping outside of the comfort zone.”
